Update single value from script without copying table?

Hi,

I want to decrease the value on a specific row of a table while I'm looping another table.
I have a large list of people and I have to do calculations on each person, but for simplicity lets look at a very limited case:

I want to loop over the PersonsTable and give them their favorite fruit untill either they are satisfied or stock runs out.
Now I assume I don't want to make a new copy of the fruits table and delete the old one for every person on the person list?

Is there a simple way to say "Update row X of this Table to Y"?

 

FruitTable:

FruitType Amount
Apple 10
Pear 3

 

Now I'm currently looping through another table based on it's row number. The table is like this:
PersonsTable:

Person_ID FavoriteFruit DesiredAmount
3109421 Apple 2
9271581 Pear 4
3051235 Apple 5
